Shah’s comments came as Jammu and Kashmir’s two principal regional parties — the National Conference and the PDP — promised in their election manifestoes for upcoming Assembly polls in Jammu and Kashmir that they would work to restore the controversial provision, scrapped on August 5, 2019.
“Article 370 has no place in Jammu and Kashmir now or ever. It will never be restored,” Shah said at a press conference in the Chhattisgarh capital when asked about it.
